Institutional harm comes in many forms, not just through the experience of abuse and violence.

We do not solve the problems of institutional harm by shifting young people from adult prisons to juvenile facilities.

Young people's well-being and dignity should be at the center of any institutional practices.

Interventions should not focus exclusively on cognitive change; they should recognize that the growth and development of young people happens at multiple dimensions.

The people charged with taking care of young people in facilities and in community-based programs matter and should be given the tools and resources necessary to do the work in ways that values their well-being and dignity.
